The Battle of Temesvár (Romanian: Timişoara) was a battle in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, fought on 9 August 1849 between the Austria and Hungarian Revolutionary Army. The Austrians were led by Julius Jacob von Haynau, while the Hungarians were led by Józef Bem who arrived at the eleventh hour from Transylvania. The Austrians were victorious.
The Hungarians had only their southern division here, and although it they had slightly more men than the Austrians, they lacked experience and good equipment. Henryk Dembiński, the leader of this Hungarian division, retreated from Szeged just before the arrival of the army of Julius Jacob von Haynau, where the Hungarians had prepared pretty good defence lines. Dembiński was relieved of his command, and Lajos Kossuth asked József Bem to step in.
The Hungarians were stationed at the stronghold of Temesvár (now Romanian: Timişoara) when they were attacked from Temesvár Castle too. The Hungarians did well for a while, but when Bem fell from his horse they could not hold the Austrian cavalry.
Pretext
Henryk Dembiński, the originator of the idea to join the forces at Szeged, became the supreme commander of the southerner Hungarian army, though Antal Vetter had bigger chance to get this post. Dembiński didn't command much respect because he retreated in 1831 and it seemed that Dembiński wouldn't change. He essentially retreated from Szeged and left a legion with only four cannon at Újszeged.
The Hungarian army abandoned their positions, because they could press the Austrian army, which was crossing Újszeged, towards the River Tisza [note 2], but it didn't happen. Even though the Hungarians were defending their positions, Haynau crossed the Tisza to Újszeged without resistance. Dembiński stationed his army between Maros and Szőreg and Haynau started to move towards the Hungarian army.

Aftermath
The battle was the last in the Hungarian Revolution. During the retreat the Hungarian army broke up and just only half of it arrived to Lugos. Haynau left Temesvár. After the battle it was impossible to continue the revolution and the Hungarians capitulated at Világos. It is called the Capitulation at Világos.
